Joseph Biden actually said...

"Over the last few days, we`ve seen reports of a major uptick in violations of the ceasefire by Russian-backed fighters attempting to provoke Ukraine in the Donbas."

"We have reason to believe the Russian forces are planning to -- and intend to attack Ukraine in the coming week, in the coming days."

"As of this moment, I`m convinced he`s made the decision."

"Make no mistake, if Russia pursues his plans, it will be responsible for catastrophic and needless war of choice."
